A man has been found guilty of the manslaughter of 19-year-old Temur Qureshi.

Jack Patterson, aged 18, of Stile Road, Slough, pleaded guilty to one count of manslaughter at Reading Crown Court on April 2.

A jury found Patterson not guilty of one count of murder but guilty of one count of possession of a bladed article at the same court on Monday, April 15.

He was remanded in custody and is due to be sentenced at the same court on May 31.

At around 11.20am on 30 September last year, officers attended Hampden Road following a report that a young man had been stabbed. The man was later identified as Temur Qureshi, 19, from Slough.

South Central Ambulance Service also attended and treated Temur but he sadly died at the scene.

A Home Office post-mortem examination found Temur died of a haemorrhage and a stab wound to the left lung.

Patterson was charged on October 4 last year.

Senior investigating officer Detective Inspector Alice Broad, of the Major Crime Unit, said: “Firstly, I would like to extend my sympathies to the family of Temur Qureshi, who have been patient and dignified as this investigation and court process has progressed. No family should have to go through this pain.

“While Jack Patterson has been found not guilty of Temur’s murder at Reading Crown Court, the defendant previously admitted to killing the 19-year-old man, and the jury found him guilty of having a knife.

“Secondly, I would like to pay tribute to the group of people who stopped to assist Temur following his injuries, and worked hard to try to save his life while calling 999, along with the police officers and paramedics who soon arrived on scene. Sadly, Temur’s life could not be saved.

“However, despite Temur battling for his life, he was still able to identify his attacker to those who came to assist him, and we soon arrested Patterson, who had fled to a family address in the Midlands.

“Finally, I would like to pay tribute to the investigation team who have worked tirelessly to piece together what took place on September 30 last year."

Local policing area commander for Slough, Superintendent Helen Kenny, added: “I would like to extend my condolences once again to Temur’s family and friends for their unimaginable loss.

“We are committed to tackling knife crime in the town, working alongside our partners to address the causes of violence that we have seen in recent years and help end knife crime across Slough.

“If anyone has information about knives or violence in Slough, please report it via 101 or by making a report on our website.
